The fact that is "sometimes works" is not granting you that it will
always work.

Agreed, but I've never claimed this. All I've tried to illustrate is that it is not obvious.

No, it is not. For this reason, the Mail RFC
allows a max line length of 78 characters.

Time to issue a new RFC. They aren't always right you know, and just by being "Requests For Comment", doesn't automatically make them the best thing or the correct thing. That's not to say we should "embrace and extend", like Microsoft does, but some RFC stuff just isn't very good. And if that's an RFC, it's one of those.

I have a computer to figure that stuff out for me, not so that I have to count character by character if I hit 78 characters or not. That is a purpose of the computer after all, to compute. MUA should be wrapping this for me. Let the computer do the work.
